Detailed explanation-1: -Animal body stores carbohydrate as glycogen. It is also called animal starch because its structure is similar to amylopectin .

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen is an extensively branched glucose polymer that animals use as an energy reserve. It is the animal analog to starch. Glycogen does not exist in plant tissue. It is highly concentrated in the liver, although skeletal muscles contain the most glycogen by weight.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen is a homopolysaccharide found in the liver and muscles of animals, where it is used to store energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Like starch in plants, glycogen is found as granules in liver and muscle cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycogen is a form of starch found in animal tissue and is hence called animal starch. Glycogen is a polysaccharide that is physically related to amylopectin with basic alpha-D-Glucose but has a mix of 1, 4 and 1, 6 bonds. Glycogen exists in a small amount (< 1%) in liver and muscle tissue.
